Hey all. So I noticed a possible bug with the way boost is searched in findboost.cmake.<div><br></div><div>Essentially, if you have the boost static runtimes installed, that's what Visual Studio will require. For example, using the thread library, it will need libboost_thread*-sgd*</div>
<div><br></div><div>Yet the non-static-runtime versions are what are searched first, so it only finds libboost_thread*-gd*, and visual studio will give you a link error.</div><div><br></div><div>The reason is that on lines 718 - 738 of findboost.cmake, it defines the NAMES of the boost_STATIC_TAG after it already lists the same version without the boost_STATIC_TAG. </div>
<div><br></div><div>So what needs to be done is instead of </div><div><br></div><div><div> FIND_LIBRARY(Boost_${UPPERCOMPONENT}_LIBRARY_RELEASE</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span> ${Boost_LIB_PREFIX}boost_${COMPONENT}${_boost_COMPILER}${_boost_MULTITHREADED}-${Boost_LIB_VERSION}</div>
